Your methods of cheating on a test?

11-14-2007, 04:34 PM

Come on guys, we've all gone through high school or college and cheated on a ton of tests. What were/are your ways of doing it?
For me, if the teacher puts up dividers between the students, I just move it forward a little bit before the test so I can still see the other person's test if I lean back just a little.
Or, my friends and I tap once for the answer to be A, twice for B, and so on. Or we'd hold up our fingers. To say what question we need help with, we'd do this: If we need help w/ #27, we'd tap our pencils twice, pause, and then do it 7 times.
A third way, is once most people are finished and they all start talking and distracting the teacher, I just blatantly ask people out loud what the answers are.
For math or science, you can write formulas on a tiny piece of paper and take that out during the test.
Post your methods, and maybe some people here will be helped out.

in an econ class i had a couple years ago, i created a program on my scientific calculator and just type in formulas and vocab-definitions and that kind of stuff and save it. A lot of work typing that stuff on a calculator, but i couldnt remember some of the vocab. Usually in lecture halls though, just wear a hat and I can look down on the people's test in front of me if i need to.

Usually i'm good with the studying route though, tests generally dont try to trick you or anything that just studying for them is easier than risking getting caught for cheating.

I just used to write notes on a sheet of paper, and I would try to sit somewhere in the front half of the class, and as the teacher would walk up and pass out the test, once she passed where I was sitting, I would pull out the notes, and fit them into the test papers. So I would just be flipping back and forth between pages getting the answers, and the teachers would never have a clue.
